Received a call from Gregory Spatz offering acceptance and a GSA position. 4a/5r/5p

All thee schools - Minnesota Mankato, Hollins, NC Wilmington - offer my full funding, but Hollins is 2 years the other two are three years long. I just wish I had some info on the programs themselves. I know NC Wilmington has a reputation for being innovative, Minnesota Mankato is mentioned in the "top 25 underrated programs" and they seem super nice, and Hollins used to be great, now that seems uncertain. My primary concerns are quality and funding - latter is similar with all three.

Agree with the last poster. The 2 vs 3 year funding is what makes programs like University of Michigan so amazing. A third year fellowship with full funding and time to focus on writing. Definitely consider that a 3 year program (like Michigan or Syracuse etc) is actually offering you much more $$$ overall than a 2 year program (even if it's less each year).

Anyone familiar with the reputation of Stonecoast and perhaps the program? How does it compare to full-res programs? Is it looked down on because it is low-res? Thanks!

Anyone familiar with the Stonecoast program's reputation and perhaps the program? How does it compare to full-res programs? I'm so confused about low-res programs. Are they looked down on because they are low-res?

Well, thank you for letting us know. Everyone is so anxious, it is nice to have news, even if the news is not good news.

Was called 3/1 and offered a spot, called 3/13 and offered funding. Absolutely ecstatic!

I agree with poster regarding improbably fast turnaround time. Their deadline is March 1st!

Thank you for the advice on Hollins. My current options are: Hollins, NC Wilmington, Minnesota Mankato (I've been accepted to Umass Boston and UNO as well but without adequate funding). How do these programs rank compared to each other and in general?

All the Warren Wilson acceptances have gone out to my knowledge - folks have until the 19th to commit, so I expect the waitlist and rejections may go out after that.

SCREAMED. First choice school. I'll go if I get in.

Could someone please tell me if Hollins is still considered to be an excellent program? I've just got accepted and cannot find any recent info on the program. Thank you.

Also wondering of Warren Wilson Fiction. If you know anything or have been accepted/rejected, please let us know. Thank you!

Just emailed the director of the program today about decision release estimation. Here are her exact words. "Hello, Sorry for the wait. It will probably be another 2 weeks." So it looks like early April/super-late March is our best bet.
